Photo: AFPLondon: Scientists have discovered tiny fossil shells that unveil details about the Earth’s climate over half a billion years ago. The research, published in the journal Science Advances, suggests that early animals diversified within a climate similar to that in which the dinosaurs lived. To see if these were feasible sea temperatures, the scientists then ran climate model simulations for the early Cambrian. Ultimately, these findings help to expand our knowledge of the early animals of the period and the environment in which they lived.
